Windows 10: Virtual Disk Drive VHD must be re-attached after computer restart - Windows 10

I have setup with two VHD's D+E plus "F" external disk. When I restart computer E + F drives are already attached. "D" VHD is lost and must be attached via Disk Management. I want to all three disks to be automatically attached when computer start.

Thanks

Attaching a VHD

I am running Windows 10, the latest build and created a Windows Image Backup image with Backup and Restore (Windows 7) from the control panel.

To see if it works, I opened Disk Management and clicked on Action - Attach VHD and clicked on the VHD file, which is located on an external USB drive, but after that, no VHD was created, tried doing a Refresh and Rescan Disks and still no VHD drive.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

 

VHD to virtual PC

What does it mean? *Confused VHD is a hard drive of a virtual machine which (by default) can be opened by Microsoft Virtual PC

 

How do I launch my virtual drive

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps

• Press Windows + X, and select Disk Management
• From the Action drop down menu, select Create VHD
• In the Create and Attach Virtual Hard Disk dialogue box you should select where you want the .vhd file to be saved.
  
• Choose which format you prefer and how large you want the virtual drive to be
• A fixed size VHD stays at the same size and behaves just like a physical drive, while a dynamic expanding VHD grows and shrinks as files are added to, or deleted from it
• The new disk will now be displayed in the Disk Management window but cannot be used until it has been initialized. Right-click on the disk title and select “Initialize Disk”.
• Choosing the MRB (Master Boot Record) style is the safest thing to do here
• Once initialized, the disk needs to be set up as a simple volume and assigned a drive letter. Right-click on the drive itself in the Disk Management window and select New Simple
  Volume
• When the Wizard opens, click "next" to enter the Specify Volume Size dialogue. By default, the volume size is set as the size of the entire virtual disk, but you can choose
  any smaller size you wish.
• Next assign it a drive letter and then format it
• Navigate to where you saved the VHD file during Step 4 in File Explorer, and double click to mount it. The virtual disk will now show up in File Explorer (and elsewhere) as
  a regular hard disk, and can be used just like one

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help
